Default What size tire should I run on my 240sx

Sport Max 962 staggered 17x7 38 and 17x9 35 offset

I did a google search and I can’t find a consistent tire size to run so im just going to ask for some advice from my fellow Vadriven members. This is what I have come up with 205/40 or 45? front and 235/40 or 45? Rear. I’m throwing on some K Sport coilovers next week and I want to go low!!
Thank you!

We need a Wheel/tire fitment section on this forum for me and the other people that want there wheels to look flush with body of car.

A 7 in rim on a 240 is going to look like doo doo. If you want that flush look 9's all the way around would be best on stock fenders. You already have those rims, so a 205/45 will work best up front. I would stick with a 225/40 or 45 for the rear and Add a 25mm spacer front/rear to help out the sunken look.
